That should get him a nice downtown Moscow apartment in one of the old Party Apartment buildings. They are for bigshots with money now.

I watched a show once that included a bit on those buildings. Those complexes were built so that you never had to ever leave it. Had it's own stores, subway stations, etc, etc. They said that 90% of the people that lived there eventually got arrested by the State for one reason or the other... including Stalin's neice who he had sent to Siberia for a nice extended sentence. Many of those that were arrested were never seen alive again. Only the Party elite could live there. His way of keeping his friends and enemies close since they were the same to him. What a friggin way to live... It's gonna be that way in the USA someday... soon.

To be fair, Radulov is *the* guy in the KHL. MVP and scoring champ the past few years and just entering his prime. He probably has a lot of intangible value to a team over there (sponsorship deals, etc.) that he wouldn't in North America.

Radulov plays very hard on and off the ice!! Any team would die to have that guy on a team. He clearly outplayed Datsyuk in the 1st round!

Any team would die to have a selfish, lazy, egotistical piece of garbage on their team?

Against Phoenix he stood at center ice and just watched as players broke in on odd man rushes to score against his team, because he refused to skate after his man. He did not stop and start one time, but instead chose to make long, loopy, lazy, wide turns that kept him from keeping up with the play because he simply did not give a darn.

Despite knowing the immense talent he has and knowing his skill would have given them a better chance to win, the players in the Preds dressing room did not want him playing. That speaks volumes in itself.

He is loaded with skill but seems to be a piece of crap as a person. So if his team mates did not even want him on the ice with him at such a crucial time what on earth makes you think another team would be dying to have him?

Smart move on his part to go back to a lesser league, where he can take all the nights off he wants to by playing lazy, hungover hockey, and still be able to put his points on the scorecard because he can float by on his talent alone and nobody will upset the vodka in his tummy with a hard check.

havent been here in months and people still take things at the most literal extreme!!

Hmmm, I'm certainly a sucker then. It looked like your honest opinion to me. Typed meaning can be hard to discern. Instead of using exclamation marks maybe try lol or or ....They help to communicate a joke a bit better in typed print...If in fact you were really joking...
